Grandma's Lentils with Chorizo

Here are the ingredients you need

• 500g Pardina brown lentils
• 1 large tomato
• 1 Italian green pepper
• 1 red onion
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 head of garlic
• 1 piece of chorizo
• 1 liter of water
• Bay leaf
• Sweet paprika
• Pink salt
• Extra virgin olive oil

Process

1. 1Peel the 2 potatoes and cut them into chunks.
2. 2Clean and chop the vegetables.
3. 3Slice the chorizo into rounds.
4. 4Put all the ingredients into the pot and season with salt, oil, paprika, and the bay leaf.
5. 5Cover with water and let cook over medium-low heat for 30-35 minutes.
6. 6Once the cooking time is up, blend the vegetables, discarding the head of garlic and the bay leaf.
7. 7Stir the blended vegetables back into the pot.
8. 8Now we can sit down and enjoy grandma's lentils with chorizo!

Extras

1. 1If the stew needs more water, add it cup by cup without worry.
2. 2I don't soak the lentils the night before; I just rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities.
3. 3At our house, lentils are a main dish and we eat hearty portions. If you usually have two courses or smaller servings, these amounts can feed 5 people, and if you mix them with rice, up to 6.
